Sue......Z, No toothpicks in my eyelids yet.....still wide awake! I like your idea..... .. I'm sure others will also! Maybe we will have some people join us in the morning...and more input. I think your idea is a winner!

You seem like a heck of a nice AND caring person-could be worse! Maybe, on the adhesion site we could put a very large notice-and to those who type away late at nite (depending on where you are) to copy and paste a letter off the site and send it to her all on the same day-set a date. Actually, we could E several shows like this and probable flood their mail box (60 minutes?). It would be the most fun I've had in awhile. Later, Sue Z

Hi Sue,
 
Well, it seems it is just you and me tonight--so will answer you again!
 
You can e mail Dr. Kruschinski directly and ask him anything.........no it 
is not tasteless to ask him--all of us that have been there have e mailed 
him at one time or another. He will need your operative reports if you 
have had prior surgeries and also give him a run down of your current issues

 
I am smiling over your question concerning Oprah. What a splendid idea!
 
Many of us have contacted Oprah........we are only waiting for Oprah now
to contact us! You are correct, there is power in numbers!
 
Sincerely,
Karen

Hi Everyone,
  I'm glad things are going well in Europe! (I don't mean that
sarcastically)  I found the list of surgeries, but am wondering if you folks
who have been there think it to tasteless for me to come right out and ask
on the Good Dr.'s website what an estimated price would be?  What info do
they all need prior to going over?  Plane fare isn't a big deal, for I have
several friends in airline industry, but the actually surgery and after care
. . . . I'm a single Mom on disability in Grad school and things are tight
the way it is.  
Also, has anyone ever tried to get the word out about adhesions out thru a
major show like Oprah?  or even the Today Show?  Maybe if we flooded their
sites.  There's power in numbers.  
I'm going thru a colonoscopy tomorrow-Memorial Day in the park and I could
only smell the food , but I'll live.  Strange as it is, after drinking the
Nylyte drink and spending 5 hours in the bathroom I think my abs actually
feel better.  Has anyone else ever experienced this weird happening?  They
think my adhesions may have plastered part of my intestines against my hip
wall like they did last time, but are doing this just to make sure-I'm
almost thinking they're doing it for fun or because they don't know what
else to do and are looking for something they know about.
I'm so glad I accidentally ran into this site!   Thanks Everyone, for just
being here.  Sue Z

Kathy,
 
Oh I am so very happy for you!!! See you are singing our song!
You write the words Melissa spoke so many times, "No one
can help me, I will always be sick"...............thank God and again
thanks to Dr. Kruschinski--another gold medal!! Hooray!! 
 
Kathy, I know how you feel--there is no way to express your 
gratitude to Dr. Kruschinski. I told him one thing I could promise,
he will never lack for work, as I will continually tell the story......
and I do so every single day! I know there are so many people
that are living a diagnosis that is incorrect and many others that know 
they have adhesions, but they submit to repeated surgeries 
(many unknowingly) that make them worse.........we must shout it 
from the rooftops......
 
I get sooooo excited reading your e mail--it is victory all over
again.....I've never met you---but I share your joy!! 
 
It is a good day!! So happy for you!!
 
Karen

I am very happy to report that I am home from Seligenstadt Germany and
that I am adhesion free!!! Dr. Kruschinski makes miracles happen or
maybe God has made miracles happen through him. In either case, I am so
happy I went to Germany. It was a wonderful trip and a successful
surgery. I found his nurses and the staff at the Emma Klinik to be
highly skilled and very compassionate. Everyone cared so much and
wanted us to be comfortable. The setting is perfect. The tree lined
Main River moves past the balcony window and provides a soothing
experience for your recovery. We watched every ship that pasted
wondering what their story was. The time went so quickly. The town is
charming and there were different activities most days in the town
square..ie antique show, farmers market, international singers. It
rained often but that made the area a beautiful shade of green.
This was my 9th and 10th(second look)surgery. The constant! ! pain that I--

have had since my hysterectomy in 1997 is gone. I still have some
surgery pain but I expect it to be gone soon. The gasless surgery,
SprayGel and Dr. Kruschinski are the answer. He is so committed to his
patients ....he checked on me daily. This was unbelievable to me! I
have never had that kind of attention. A big "thank you" to my cousin
Margaret, who went with me. It was so great to be waited on at every
turn.
I want to thank Lisa for pioneering these trips and for writing a very
helpful summary, Karen for taking the time to answer so many questions
when she was dealing with a death in the family, Dawn for mentioning the
words "nerve entrapment" in her post(and answering questions)and Pat C.
for inspiring me to rethink my position on having another surgery. The
person I am most grateful to is Dr. Kruschinski! He is so kind,
dedicated, compassionate, intelligent and most of all skillful. His
surgery has given me ba! c! k my life ...something I didn't think was
possible. I had come to the conclusion that I would always be sick and
that no one could help me. How do you thank someone for the best gift
you have ever received? Dr. Kruschinski is making people well!!! I pray
everyone will have this opportunity.
Sincerely, Kathy
